A leader's job is to develop committed followers.  Great leaders inspire their teams to believe so deeply in their mission that they become immersed in what they're doing.

10-30 Recovery Defending From An Angle
Today's focus was on how to take a good angle to cut off a girl who has gotten the ball on the outside of the field and is cutting in towards goal.

The big point that I wanted to get across to the girls was to hustle back and cut off the shot to the far post.  Our goalies should be able to take away any shot to the near post.  If you can get your body in the way of the far post shot and not get cut back, we should be ok.

30-50 3v4 Games
We had one team play short handed to work on playing defense a man down.  The key point was to make the play predictable.  I also wanted the girls to be competitive and play to win even though they were a player short.  At the same time I wanted the team with a man advantage to show a killer mentality and win with the extra player.
